Totally Useless Bits of Info About Me

(unless I fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming an A-List actor and someday there is a category devoted to me on Jeopardy)

Even if my life depended on it, I could not slice up a block of cheese in an even manner. The pieces are either too thick, too thin or too short.

I can say the alphabet backwards. I was laying in bed when I was ten years old and it just popped out of my mouth.

I can burp really. really. loud.

I have never seen any of the Rocky movies or the Godfather movies.

I don't have a green thumb. I have an opposite-of-the-colour-green thumb.

I have never broken a bone (knock on wood).

One of the best days of my life? The morning after my laser eye surgery when I woke up and could clearly see the alarm clock (instead of it looking like a bright red blur).

I hate wearing socks.

I tend to be obsessive-compulsive. I tend to be obsessive-compulsive. I tend to be obsessive-compulsive.

When I was young, I had an insane fear that my knee caps would be ripped off by the bumper of a passing vehicle (that's back when the metal bumpers wrapped around the back of the vehicle and they weren't these awful looking, three foot high, plastic monstrosities).

I am allergic to beer and wine.

When I can't fall asleep at night, I skip count backwards by nine, starting at 4500.

I love the number nine (did you know if you multiply any number by nine, the sum of its digits will always, always add up to nine?).

I have 'built' all the furniture in our house that required assembling - it's like a great big puzzle to me!

I am a cryptoquip fanatic.

I can never remember which province is next to Manitoba - Ontario or Quebec.

If you look in my pantry, you'll notice all the English labels face out (or, as my sister says, I am obsessive-compulsive and racist).

I bruise like a week-old peach.
